Shaling wasn't paper ready until she was 8-years-old, but the day we visited the orphanage, there were baby pictures in her file. They didn't let me have any of them, but they let me take pictures of the pictures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08912681816847922679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733220410724914191.post-4964077950169231682012-02-28T18:12:27.032-08:002012-02-28T18:12:27.032-08:00wow!

I am so glad Luke has a family who gave him language so that he could understand things about his world and about himself.Linettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356562657609383172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733220410724914191.post-63757750418323391682012-02-28T04:08:15.316-08:002012-02-28T04:08:15.316-08:00Wow - first of all - I'm extremely proud of yo...Wow - first of all - I'm extremely proud of you guys! It would have been easier to let him believe what he thought - but what harm would that have done to your relationship with Luke down the road! Thanks for "stepping up" on that one!<br /><br />And please - thank the rest of the family for me - they had to forgo what they probably wanted to do for the sake of their brother. And while the probably "didn't mind" - it was still a sacrifice for them!<br /><br />And finally - please tell Luke for me that I'm extremely proud of him. He accepted - or at least willingly considered - what he was being told with a grace and dignity beyond his years. I've often said that our adopted kids were "old souls" - wise beyond their time - he really measured up to that.<br /><br />Finally - take a moment of parent pride for yourselves. You've really built something in terms of your relationship with Luke - he listened and believed - what trust you have built with him! Really nice work there mom and dad!<br /><br />hugs - prayers - and wow!!<br /><br />aus and co.Aushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740211277947404999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733220410724914191.post-72073169152733351662012-02-27T16:59:52.911-08:002012-02-27T16:59:52.911-08:00Please tell Luke that the funny clown never ever f...Please tell Luke that the funny clown never ever forgets to pray for him!Poet of Purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955431626193008886noreply@blogger.com
